Save Me

chapter 7

Chapter 7

We arrive to cali in seven hours andI slept through the whole way.

"mom, where we gunna sleep?"

  "a hotel until i can find a condo to go to."

"okay, that,sounds good. Do we got enough money?"

She sneaks her hand in her purse, and shows me her money.

OH MY SHIIT. She's got like 100 hundred dollar bills!! And like 50 twenties, a shit load of tens and fives, but no dollar bills. Andd she's got like five debit and credit cards that are probably loaded.

"daaaamn howd u get all that money mom?? Did you rob a bank or some shit?"(oh crap i just swore by my mom..  Hopefully she didn't notice.)

"ha ha nooo lea. I've been saving up since i won the lotto."

"you won the Lotto? That's cool." I say.how the hell did i NOT know this?

"yeah but i only won about 50,000. " she says casually.

The fuq? She talks like it's no biggie. ' yeah, i won like a million dollars, but  you know,I'm poor.' 

Like I'm supposed to say ' Oh shit, im so sorry.'

No bitch, you're rich. 

"only? Mom that's a lot of moneyyy! And you got those cards?" I say.

"yeah. I got much more,money on my cards. So, we are good about dinero. Here. Take this, to get your self a new long board and Arizona." She says to me as she hands me a hundred.(oh my shit... Lots of Arizona for lea.)

"Thanks mom!"

  I say as i stuff it in my pocket.

We find a hotel called "El Jardin De Rosa" and stay there for the night. 

The next morning,i sit in the hotel bed, and realize im away from Phillipe. For ever.

Ahhh im so happy! I'm going to celebrate with Starbucks.

"hey mom.. Moomm.." I whisper.

"whatt? I'm sleeping." She mumbles.

"ima go out for some coffee. I'll be back."

"okay be safe." My mom says.

I get up, and dig thru a suitcase for some clothes and stuff. I find my favorite shirt that has a huge purple cloud on the front of it, and some dark  jeans. I choose purple vans to complete the look.

I take a shower quickly, and finish getting ready. 

15 minutes later, i am done so I head out the pink floral hotel door (really?).

Oh shit where is Starbucks? I completely forgot that this isn't my home town. This is California.

I start walking,  and out of no where, i see a little starbucks shop. Oh my jesus!! It's like it was sent from heaven just for me.

I run up to it, and burst through the doors.

"hi, can i have a.... Ummm...a.... A green tea frappe  please?" I say excitedly.

" Sure. That's gunna be 5.75."

"Okay" i say as i hand him my gift card.

He swipes it through the machine, but it doesn't go through. He does it twice more, and still no luck. The cashier flips the card over and reads it. The guy who makes the coffee slides a green tea frap my way, but the cashier stops it with his hand, and says " oh umm sorry miss, but this card only works in chicago."

"ughh are you serious?"

"yeah. Sorry bout that." He says. 

"here. I got it." A guy says behind me.( shit, he sounds just like JC!)  He slips money in my hand, and his hand brushes mine. but i don't accept it. He takes it back, and walks in front of me. He has on a black beanie(the same one i have on now) and says    " can i have a order of two green tea frappes please."

  "sure. That's gunna be 11.50."

"okay here you go." The guy says as he hands the cashier a 20. As he does that, i notice that his wrist has a familiar cloud on it.

The server of the frappes hands them to the guy with the cloud.

  He turns around, and passes me a frap.

"here you go, girl." He says,with that sexy smile.

  Oh my gosh...oh my Jesus.... Oh my my my.. OH MY SHIITT!!! 

I feel my jaw drop, and  also the frap. It falls to our feet, and quickly reaches to my purple vans, and to his light blue vans.

  We both reach down to pick up the empty cup,  accidentally bump heads and bust our shit. 

"ow.. Crap sorry." He says while laughing.

"oh no it's okay, its totally my fault haha im lea."

"hey...lea. It's nice to meet you im-" i quickly cut him off, and show him the drawn on cloud on my wrist, and on my shirt and say

" i know who you are, oh my shit you're jc caylen!"
